Thanks. I'll do both and try to level this out.

yes.


I was hoping to wait till next month to buy a chiller, but it seems
like I need to do something sooner.


Two choices-

easiest - simply set the thermostat on your heater to 84. That's high,.
but not dangerously so (I run my tank this hot myself)

OR

Less easy - get a chiller with a dual stage controller.
